As per The Mail, Liverpool are reluctant to bid that big for a 19-year-old midfielder, who only has limited top flight experience under his belt.
Nevertheless, the 19-time English champions are expected to come up with another offer for the Belgian international and reports indicate they are prepared to agree a fee worth £45m.
According to an exclusive story covered by Football Insider last night, Liverpool are ready to reach £45m to sign the talented defensive midfielder to replace Fab and Hendo at Anfield.
